A South African researcher ensures that the body of Madeleine McCann is buried in the yard of Robert Murat, in the Algarve. Stephen Birch wrote to Scotland Yard and the Judicial Police to tell their discoveries.

Speaking to the "Morning Post" claimed to have detected all the 60 cm depth. His suspicions were confirmed by images taken by a "geo-radar" of the British police.

The newspaper writes that an international expert, contacted by the
investigator, said he had no doubt that there is an object buried in the
area concerned.

While in Praia da Luz, Birch oversaw the Murat house 24 hours a day,
with the help of two assistants and even four times to enter the yard at
night.

In his statements to the newspaper does not make accusations, ensuring
that their aim is to discover where the body was buried, because "once
removed, will be much easier to solve this case." The South African
believes that in time, Murat's house was not "investigated in the most
correct."

Madeleine disappeared a few days before to four years, May 3, 2007, the
room where he slept with the two twin brothers, the youngest, in an
apartment in a resort in Praia da Luz in the Algarve.

No need for comments like that aquila. This story is in the Portuguese press, could you post a link please Carly. The story may be a load of rubbish, but Carly is just posting the news.

f true the inplications of this are huge imo

Walter Scott · by david_uk 05.07.12 10:56

part 2 of the Murat set-up perhaps!!?

by puzzled 05.07.12 10:56

Didn't the Portuguese police dig up Murat's garden and found nothing there? Also, they took the sniffer dogs around the place.

I wonder if this is just another attempt at smoke and mirrors?

by Guest 05.07.12 11:16

Busy morning for Mr Murat's lawyer I would think, puzzled.

It doesn't sound likely to me. Quite the opposite. Lori Campbell might be on her way already - Portugal doesn't her again!

by uppatoffee 05.07.12 11:36

Has anyone found a better translation of this? It is unclear to me whether this is a recent search in Murat's garden that has taken place. The article mentions it was four years since Madeleine went missing yet has today's date.

Walter Scott · by david_uk 05.07.12 12:09

ive tried to find better related articles, its not very clear and most likely another planted nonsense story. or perhaps the real abductor buried the evidence in his garden hoping it would be found much sooner!!.

by Guest 05.07.12 12:19

There's a short video on the paper's site now. It doesn't show much though, just the bloke and his machine going over the ground in the dark.

Why would a paper go with this? It's very strange.

by Pershing36 05.07.12 12:31

We should also be cautious in the fact that it is just ground radar. It shows that 'something could be buried' I doubt it would have given an accurate enough reading to determine it is a human corpse. It could be rubble or even a buried pet.

by Guest 05.07.12 13:02

Incredulous is my word for the day winkwink

by Guest 05.07.12 13:03

I don't know what to think of this story, also because I haven't seen one single coherent translation anywhere yet. But in theory, burying a corpse in a place, which has already extensively been searched twice, would be quite clever yes

Exactly, what are the chances of getting a second search warrant? Could also be that attempts to place it somewhere else failed so in desperation it was brought back. Certainly could be feasible.

Problem is with the PJ case closed will anyone investigate it? I doubt SY will press for it, last thing they want as they appear to already have made up their minds.

I have pinched the comment below from Carolina on MM forum as she gives a bit more information about the story. Thanks Carolina! Hope you don't mind.

"I have the CdM paper and there is a 4 page spread about this whole. This guy Birch is a real estate developer and is fascinated with the Maddie case. He believes that once the body is found it will be possible to solve the case. He also states that he believes that Maddie died accidentally that night and was buried at Murat's house because it had easy access. He is also convinced that Murat and his family are not involved. He also praised Gonçalo Amaral, considering him an honest and competent person and a policeman with many years of experience.

This guy staked out Murat's house 24 hours a day and when Murat left the house he went in with his collaborators 4 times. He does not believe that the PJ and the British police searched the grounds wells enough although this was done twice. Gonçalo Amaral responds that the searches carried out by the PJ were exhaustive and the whole area was looked at.

That is more or less what was said in the article."

He’s opening himself up for a good carterrucking surely?! You cant suggest that she might be dead! There is no evidence to support this! Preposterous! And very unhelpful!

This article appeared in the Portuguese press therefore would CR have any legal jurisdiction over what is printed there? Presumably libel laws in Portugal are a bit different to those in England?

Is it CR though, I thought it was Isabel Duarte from Portugal.

by Miraflores 05.07.12 15:52

Wouldn't the Portuguese be able to reopen the case if they considered this to be fresh evidence?

Will this appear in the British papers? (No, silly question.)

by russiandoll 05.07.12 16:31

This is being reported in Expresso which is as far as I can ascertain a quality broadsheet newspaper according to one source of info and acc to another, not a daily but similar to the USA's Time magazine. Long article

not giving credence to this latest story, but Expresso did a quality interview with the parents in 2008 and did not pull any punches in their questions. On McCann files, can't post a link sorry.

by T4two 05.07.12 16:46

Interesting. I know of a couple of people who pointed the finger at Murat before when they wanted to cause a diversion.
